1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Patient-specific modeling of atrial electrical activity enables the execution of simulations that can provide mechanistic insights and provide novel solutions to vexing clinical problems. The geometry and fibrotic remodeling of the heart can be reconstructed from clinical-grade medical scans and used to inform personalized models with detail incorporated at the cell- and tissue-scale to represent changes in image-identified diseased regions. Here, we provide a rubric for the reconstruction of realistic atrial models from pre-segmented 3D renderings of the left atrium with fibrotic tissue regions delineated, which are the output from clinical-grade systems for quantifying fibrosis. We then provide a roadmap for using those models to carry out patient-specific characterization of the fibrotic substrate in terms of its potential to harbor reentrant drivers via cardiac electrophysiology simulations.
